Come and discover Angers' Twin Cities

Did you know that Angers is twinned with 10 different cities around the world? Each year, the city welcomes young ambassadors to live and work in Angers, helping to strengthen global partnerships and share their culture with local Angevins.

Join us for an engaging presentation in English with Mishell Magnus-Ducloux from Austin, Texas, USA and Wanda Flemming from Osnabrück, Germany. They’ll introduce you to Angers’ sister cities in Germany and the United States, sharing stories of history, culture, politics, and current events — along with a bit about their own personal backgrounds.

This lively and interactive event will include time for Q&A, so bring your curiosity and questions!
